Most people are just content with using the first day of April to play practical jokes on each other to gain a chuckle or hearty laugh. If one could just pull off the grand-daddy of all pranks, then they are satisfied with fulfilling the revelry of "April Fool's Day." Unbeknownst to them, there lies within this 24-hour period a long forgotten, or should I say "overlooked," holiday. Yes, April 1st, of each year is, for the most part, a holiday. Although not recognized by the government as an official holiday (sorry, you can't have the day off), it could be recognized in Scripture. In the Old Testament book of Psalms in chapter 53, we find an intriguing comment that says in verse 1, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" Nothing could be more foolish than to come to a conclusion that there cannot be a God...a Higher Power, Creator and Sustainer of our life, this world, planets, sun, stars, universe and galaxies all discovered to date. So, my conclusion would be to say that those who claim there cannot be a God (whether they refer to themselves as Atheists, Agnostic, etc) should ban together on the first day of April (every year) and celebrate their holiday...the day for fools.
